Comment: Similar top-head design as in 2.16 but split band with oval decoration on upper shank and diamonds in bezel setting on last stretch of band. See back-side image below: bird-nest style gallery with full surrounded bezel in blossom shape holding the ruby. Wide back allows maximum background-light to shine through the dense ruby-crystal. Like 2.16 designed to focus on center stone and its color, with diamonds adding sparkle but not distracting.

Comment: This here is also a shallow-cut ruby but we need not trade-in a window thanks to its dense but transparent crystal. 11x8mm is a serious size in ruby even with five carats. If you want a biiiig but quality unheated ruby at an unbeatable rate - it does not get better, plus one carat diamonds plus David's one-of-a-kind design: a bargain. IGI report with unheated and Africa-origin. BTW: In the trade, 2.99 is considered three carat. Deep rose red, never too dark, never pinkish. Additional lab-reports on request.
